Très belle découverte que j'avais hâte de lire enfin ! L'histoire se comprend aisément et on commence à approcher de plus près chaque personnage.. lorsque le pire arrive !

This was a weird time. Don’t get me wrong, I really liked it, but it was weird. Definitely want to read #2, since more than anything this just seemed like an intro to the characters and the world of Bitch Planet.
My favourite parts were what would normally have been the last page/back cover of the comics - the ads were great! I love how well thought-out they were.
Weird vibes, feminist slant (not super original tbh but I’m always down for some dystopian feminism), and lots of anger made for a pretty solid read.
My only real big hesitation was the fact that a (seemingly) white author created a cast of POC characters, all of whom were very angry. While I fully get that the anger is the driving force of the book, I have trouble getting behind a non-black author writing angry black women.
